2.1.107: frame buffer problems (FYI)

Setting CONFIG_FB=y and answering "y" to all of the frame buffer
questions (and answering "m" to anything that had the option of
being a module) resulted in a kernel that would not boot. I would
see the message "Uncompressing kernel...ok now booting kernel", and
nothing else. The system would completely freeze. The machine I
am using has an S3 Virge video card.

Deactivating CONFIG_FB results in a kernel that boots fine, but
shift-PageUp/PageDown does not do anything on the console display
anymore.
